Best Home Workstation Contest

Posted on April 08, 2007 by Nate Whitehill

My pal, Mr. Gary Lee, has started a contest at his blog to see who has the best home workstation.

I primarily work from home and I have a decent setup. I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz with 2GB of RAM feeding my Apple Cinema Display 30″ LCD. My resolution? 2560×1600. I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse. My computer is connected to my JVC home stereo.

The winner of the contest will receive a Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset.

Going by Apple’s site: $1799. I wish I had that much to drop on a computer. (I could do that, just not all at once.)

Nice setup Nate. Those cinema displays are nice, but I could never put that much money into it. I would personally have gone for a few smaller screens, but that is nice. Good luck winning.

My best rig was about… oh… 7 or 8 years ago. Twin 21inch CRT Sony monitors, big graphics cards, Yoke for Flight Sim, the worst graphics tablet you’ve ever tried to use. I loved that kit!
Even had my old Atari Falcon flippable onto one of the screens. Now I just have a dual core laptop. Must resist temptation… don’t need new pc…

WOW! Nice display.

And I thought my 22″ was awesome. Yikes!

My next computer purchase is definitely going to be an Apple, until then you can enjoy the limelight.

As expensive as they are, it really is an excellent value. It is so easy to get work done and I can be doing so many things at the same time. It has improved my efficiency so much that the work I have done has already paid for the screen several times over.

Sure, as long as you have the unreleased and long-rumored Apple 40″ Cinemas Display….lol

Rumors are that Apple is going to release an even bigger display with a built-in iSight. If you get that, I will be jealous…

Very nice screen… asides from the Mac hehe j/k.

I love the desktop space you get with a large monitor, but I like dual monitors better. Can get more space for less price that way heh
